From a distance our eyes met
A spark of recognition, a smile, faint
Acknowledging each other, we bow our heads
I step aside so that it is easier to pass
Good morning, I say, a smile radiates the face
Nodding slightly, looking at me as the smile broadens
We have been seeing each other now for months
We don’t speak the language, we don’t look the same
By now even my companion, Skooby, knows the game
Two ladies, wrapped well against the cold
Faces barely visible but they are gracefully old
One a few step ahead, the other few step behind with a cane
Not sure they understand me but smile still the same
We go our own way, the morning walk ritual continues
Smile is free but the heart is full, there is nothing to lose
We share the road and share the beautiful morning
Smile bridges the barrier as we continue walking

This captures that moment between strangers where you are not strangers, but friends. A shared moment. I love this, so beautifully expressed, it feels magical.

You capture such lovely moments of life when we encounter someone we do not know that well; yet these fractions of time spent with them are beautiful. Love the rhymes, so musical and well done.

Thank you so much.
In our mad dash of daily life, we tend to ignore such gems that enrich our lives.
